Review:
While I had doubts about reading this fic after seeing the warnings, I decided to take a chance and read it. And while I regret reading it after bawling for a good hour, I loved it so very much. The author has managed to mesmerize and make something so dark be so beautiful.
It's an unconventional love story wherein you can't really decide if it's really a love story. But it's so beautiful. Lapenserosa manages to tell a story of the past, of the present and make it merge beautifully. Keller is wonderfully characterized, you see him as a hardened criminal with a difficult past but hints of a good man shines through. Spencer Reid is also in character, the endearing awkwardness he has that makes you love him. You see what could have been, what might have been and it's so painfully beautiful that you can't stop wondering what-if.
Best thing is, Lapenserosa has a sequel up, while still ongoing, is just one chapter to the end. Read it, you won't regret it. :)

Title: The Taste of a Warrior

Pairing: Orlando Bloom/Colin Farrell
Categories: AU/AR, supernatural, angst
Length: epic (app. 68,000 words)

Summary: A vampire goes hunting.
Review:
This the second of Dhvana's Orlanda Bloom/Colin Farrell epics. Unlike Daunting Byron which is an au take on the post LOTR time, this story is a darkish AU take on a supernatural world that features vampires and vampire hunters. It should be no suprise that I rec a well thought out and well written vampire story.
The story starts out as a one shot (which it originally was) and takes it from there. Colin and Orlando have a long way to go until they are at a place where they can get together. There was a sequel planned originally but unfortunately Dhvana stopped writing this pairing before it could be written.
Nevertheless this story is an amazing story about love, obsession, revenge and forgiveness.
